UPPER TABLE ROCK GONE.

tho Landscape at Niagara.

tho Landscape at Niagara.
PROSPECT House, NIAGARA FALLS ONT,
Jan. l3.-That part of the ruggid bank
nearest the Horseshoe Falls on the Cana
dian side, known as Upper Table Rock,
fell at midnight last night, with deafen-
ing crash that was heard, and the concus-
sion felt, more than mile away. ThOus-
ards of tons of solid rock fell into the
gorge below, and with it innumerable
tons of ice.
The exact position of the break is be-
tween the Prospect House and the great
Horseshoe falls, lust above the old Table
Rock and next to the spiral stairway
leaning to the path behind the sheet of
water.
1t was only by miracle that the stair
way was not entirely demolished. The
government iron railing, to length of
about one hundred and fifty feet, was bar
RED away. 1t is at this very spot that
nearly all the visitors stand. Had this
fall of rock occurred in the day time, IN
doubtedly a loss OF life would have been
added.
The formation of the precipice is entirely
ruined. One can now stand on the bank
above and see behind the heavy sheet of
water into dark chasm. The rock was
over 100 feet in length by about sixty
feet in width and 10 feet deep. One
hundred and twenty-three thousand
yards OF rock is calculated to have fallen.
The supposed cause of the fall is the low
water, the steady freezing weather of the
past three weeks and the heavy weight
of accumulated ice. So

A CHAMPION QUAIL EATER
VIII Mako an Effort to Break tho Rec
nd

CAMPBELLsv1LLE, KY, Oct. 20.-G. G..
Flora, the champion quail eater of America,
yesterday commenced the feat of eating one
hundred quail in fifty consecutive days.
Flora ate eighty quail last season in forty
days without the slightest sensation of nausea
and is confident that he can easily beat his
previous record. He can eat two pounds of
raw beef at a meal and perform other equally
astonishing astronomical feats. During the
next fifty days his diet will consist of quail
for breakfast with glass of sherry wine,
two dozen oysters for dinner with bottle of
bass ale, quail for supper with fried pota-
toes and coffee. Betting runs high in this
town that he can accomplish the feat without
difficulty. If he succeeds he receives the
sum of $500 from a local syndicate that is
backing him at all odds.
